Mister Jacob's Citadel

      Spider-Man PS4  has been one of the most successful games of 2018 (at least until Red Dead Redemption 2 comes out).   Spider-Man PS4  sold over 3 million copies in its first 3 days and made $198 million during that time, which excelled Spider-Man: Homecoming's initial 3 day haul of $117 million. That kind of success all but guarantees that Spider-Man PS4 will receive a sequel. Insomniac Games, the developer of Spider-Man PS4 has laid an excellent foundation to expand on the gameplay and story elements that they've developed. Here are a few ideas that I think Insomniac Games should incorporate in the sequel. A Bigger Map      Spider-Man PS4 featured the most realistic depiction of New York City in the history of video games. Landmarks like the Empire State Building and Times Square were rendered in photo realistic detail. The Manhattan skyline provided the player the ability to truly take on the role of Spider-Man and web-swi...

     The 2018 Major League Baseball regular season has come to a close and the postseason has started. Hitters struck out at a record pace and new trends like bull penning were introduced.  New stars like Shohei Ohtani and Miguel Andujar made a splash. Christian Yelich and Javier Baez had breakout seasons. Even Chris Davis got in on the action by having the worst season in the history of baseball. The big questions now are who wins the most coveted awards in baseball and which team will win the World Series? These are my choices for who should win these awards (just because I think these players should doesn't mean they will...even though they should).     National League Awards Cy Young Award Candidates:  Washington Nationals Max Scherzer: 18-7, 300 Ks, 2.53 ERA Philadelphia Phillies Aaron Nola: 17-6, 224 Ks, 2.37 ERA Colorado Rockies Kyle Freelander: 17-7, 173 Ks, 2.85 ERA Milwaukee Brewers Josh Hader: 6-1, 143 Ks, 2.43 ERA, 12 S...

***THIS IS A (RELATIVELY) SPOILER FREE REVIEW***        It's been a while since Spider-Man has gotten the video game treatment. His last few outings in this medium have been mediocre and at times down right horrible due to the fact that they were movie tie-ins. In fact, many would say that Spider-Man 2,  which came out in 2004 was the last great Spider-Man video game (I would argue that Ultimate Spider-Man , which came out a year later was the last great Spider-Man game, but I digress).  I think we can safely say now that Insomniac Game's  Spider-Man PS4  has claimed it's place as the definitive Spider-Man game. This game has it's flaws, but it's one of the most fun I've had playing a video game in a long time.              Spider-Man PS4  is a free-roaming game that features a twenty-three year old Peter Parker that is entering his prime as New York City's Wall Crawler. However, he still has ...
